Although some good intentions are intended, the overall effect of these &quot;discoveries&quot; is to demean the Bible in the eyes of the public. It is unfortunate that too many &quot;Christian&quot; television programmers latch on to these promotions and give them a floor to make their pronouncements. This scholarly analysis of the video is first class, Thank you.https://www.biblearchaeology.org/post/2011/09/06/The-Lost-Ship-Wreck-of-Paul-A-Critique-of-the-Video.aspx#id_6ee01410-6909-46d9-964e-59a20ca8fee0

You easily sink Cornuke's video to the depths of the Mediterranean Sea!
This 120 square mile island with, I would guess a couple of hundred miles of coastline, would require considerably more research than what Bob has done. I scoped this out on Google Earth; the area is huge. Your compass coordinates came to over a mile off the coastline for the reef and the wreckage. The reef would definitely tear up the wrong end of the boat.
If you look at the mountainous ravines and varying seafloor levels surrounding the island, using a depth sounding to locate a position, is like looking for a needle in a haystack. It could be anywhere. Additionally, I found good evidence on Google that the sea level could have been as much as 30 feet lower 2000 years ago. This would begin to cause me to lose my hair trying to sort this one out. We need much more solid parameters to make a judgement of this magnitude. The size of the anchor is the best argument you made. I think Bob needs to use that lead toothpick to get the spinach out from between his teeth before he makes such grand claims!

I would gladly welcome a conversation with Mr. Cornuke on his video about the shipwreck of Paul on Malta. He, or one of his designated associates, are more than welcome to write a response to my critique and post it on this website. The main issue, and actually the only issue, he has to address is whether the sea captain and sailors would have recognize the eastern shoreline of Malta or not. I await his response.

I feel Cornuke does acknowledge other beaches. Compelling is listening to the interview with Mediterranean Ocean expert/ Author Dr William Hut, of some 30 yrs experience... does give credence to the theory of St Thomas Bay; There is in the bay the existance of the reef; then there is the very real discovery of 4 !st Century 'Anchors’, why not from a large Alexandrian ship; Isn’t there supposed to be one large anchor and other smaller anchors on these Alexandrain ships?; the larger one could have well broken off during the 14 day violent ‘typhoon' like storm; St Thomas is also reasonably safe, sheltered and mild Bay… should it have not been that as many 276 passengers, many we can easily assume couldn’t swim, and those who could probably barely. The mature diver and local interviewed seemed to consider St Thomas Bay as credible as St Pauls Bay; a cursary look at the chart would too suggest the St Thomas bay with a North easterly direction of the Euro-Clydon. Gordon there is some merit and reasonable circumstantial evidences to put forward a theory like this surely? I didn’t hear them stating this as a fact? It’s a fair theory meriting news coverage and to be put out in the public domain. https://www.biblearchaeology.org/post/2011/09/06/The-Lost-Ship-Wreck-of-Paul-A-Critique-of-the-Video.aspx#id_4348aa2b-f15e-4188-b18d-1aea1e077d00

Greetings. Thank you for your comment on the ABR website concerning my critique of Mr. Cornuke’s ideas about the shipwreck of Paul on Malta. I would respectfully disagree with your conclusion that Mr. Cornuke’s theory is a “fair theory meriting news coverage.” I addressed the CBN broadcast as soon as it was aired on television. I invite you to read this link:
<a href="http://www.lifeandland.org/2010/03/" rel="nofollow">http://www.lifeandland.org/2010/03/</a>%E2%80%9Csearching-for-paul%E2%80%99s-shipwreck-on-malta%E2%80%9D-a-critique-of-the-700-club%E2%80%99s-february-26-2010-program/
I have also addressed all the issues that you have raised in at least seven articles posted to my website under a general link on how credible are any of Mr. Cornuke’s claims. I invite you to read all the articles:
<a href="http://www.lifeandland.org/2012/06/how-accurate-are-bob-cornuke" rel="nofollow">www.lifeandland.org/.../how-accurate-are-bob-cornuke</a>%e2%80%99s-claims-2/
The two most important issues Mr. Cornuke has ignored concerning the shipwreck, and you did not address, are: (1) the sea-captain would have recognized the eastern end of Malta if the shipwreck occurred on the Munxar Reef. This goes contrary to the clear statement of Scripture that the sea-captain did NOT recognize the island (Acts 27:39); (2) the bow (front end) of the ship ran aground but did not break up, the stern (back end) did (Acts 27:41). This indicated that the ship ran aground on a sand-bar. The Munxar Reef is not a sand-bar and the bow would have been smashed if the ship ran aground on it. This also goes contrary to the Scriptures. I address these issues in detail in my seven articles mentioned above. I hope these articles help in your search for the Truth.
Sincerely,
Gordon Franz
